MaureenOctober 16, 2014Family owned for three generations, Handy's serves up hot food at their cozy horseshoe shaped lunch counter. I loved the atmosphere, this place is a real diner gem.

Bangin' cookies, including peanut butter (excellent flavor, not burnt). Excellent american food, and conversation. quick walk down the street to Maglianero for a post lunch coffee.
True family run place. I feel like a part of when I sit down. Enjoy some good food and even better people. Say "Hi" to Earl and his Mom.

Eric D LussierApril 14, 2017Try the Black Belt! You won't be disappointed, and Chuck Norris won't come searching for your a*s.
Colton PerryDecember 14, 2009Burlington landmark, third generation of the Handy family runs this little lunch counter. Good comfort food, really friendly staff, and lots of UVM Hockey memorabilia adorns the walls.
Mixed SignalsDecember 4, 2015Ask for the liverwurst sandwich (they don't have one, but just try it and see what happens)
Don't be afraid of flavor, load up your cheeseburger with Boars Head bacon & 3 pepper jack cheese.
Maeg MarieApril 7, 2012Three little letters: SST. Dont be afraid to mix it up and get bacon.. Then smother that bad boy in syrup! 
Earl is the best ever. If you want a place to go and meet people and learn about what is up in Burlington Handy's is it!
Ask Earl for the 'Chad' - someday that will be Cincinnati Chili, but for now it's a turkey club with sweets and a coke! yum
If you are out shopping downtown or looking for a great spot for food, go to Handy's, great owner and great food
Earl is the man. Go to Handys for good, inexpensive food and good company. Try a BLT dog!
Cindy CummingsJune 5, 2013Sorry we read the great write up but could find parking! To Shanty on the Shore we went! Oh well!!
